Thanks for posting this informative piece. It has really made me think with an even wider perspective.

Wake-up call on 9-11? I don't think very, very many Americans are awake. After 9-11, there were so many flags on cars. Today I go to a mall and mine is the only Flag waving on my car among hundreds of cars.

Americans are drugged by drugs, tv, shopping,etc to the point that their concern is who won on American idol and what's the price of gas. Muslims in this country a worry? "What Muslims" most would say. Oh, and by the way, before all the Freeprs think that most Americans are interested in what's going down, let alone concerned..... we couldn't even get 1 million to sign a petition re illegal immigration.

Imagine what would happen if there was a serious economic downturn and terrorists decided to make another spectacular strike against a large American city.

"After 9-11, there were so many flags on cars. Today I go to a mall and mine is the only Flag waving on my car among hundreds of cars."

Thanks for this observation, and all of your comments. You are so right. Out where I live, in the San Fernando Valley, I travel the famous 101 every day. For about 2 months following 9/11, nearly every car had a fluttering stars-and-stripes gallantly waving. Four months later, the numbers were about half. Today, I only see another car with a flag like mine maybe once or twice a week.

What's the name of the country singer whom Sean Hannity always promotes? . . . the one who sings "Have You Forgotten?".......I think his name is Toby Keith.

Such a shame. Will it take another 9/11 for America to wake up AGAIN?! These people aren't kidding. They intend to take over America!

So, unless we're prepared to see the black and white Islamic flag flying from the Islamic States of America Capitol dome, ........... LET'S ROLL. OK?

Good evening.

I disagree. I think 9/11 marked the whole planet. Every nation knows that this is a war for survival.

The idea of what can happen in this war just flat scares the pee out of western Europe but it inspired eastern Europe to start demanding change.

W spoke at Annapolis today to young officers who entered the Academy a short time before the attack. Their military education was designed around the War on Terror and they will be the leaders in the fight.

How many states have changed their ccw laws since 9/11? Citizens have voted themselves the right to protect their families in part because of 9/11.

I think we are awake to the danger on the borders and this has helped to give birth to the Minute Men.

And to think, we almost had Gore in the White House the day of the attack.
